Casa products can be deployed in different scenarios to provide different types of services and migration paths.

• Deployed as MPEG Edge-QAM and video-over-DOCSIS edge device:
The CMTS can also be deployed as a unified platform to provide simultaneous
video-over-MPEG and video-over-IP services. The RF spectrum resources are
shared among MPEG and IP traffic. The ratio of MPEG traffic and IP traffic can
be adjusted in real-time.

• Deployed as video-over-IP edge only:
The CMTS can be deployed from day one as a downstream DOCSIS edge device
to provide video-over-IP services at a cost very competitive relative to
video-over-MPEG services.

architecture of cable operators, see our Deployment Diagram.
